Summary
In the early days of Qifrey, Alaira, and Olruggio's lives as full witches their peace in the Great Hall is broken with fear and mystery when it becomes apparent a killer with a taste for forbidden magic is in their midst.
For Qifrey coming into adulthood, into his identity, and moving through the world is hard enough without needing to prove his innocence. He’s desperate to keep his head above water but cannot see the bottom. His footing is unsteady, and as a result he has been taking matters into his own hands in an attempt to find agency.
And Olruggio knows his oldest friend is hiding something. It’s big, whatever it is. But he also knows Qifrey’s heart - or at least, he used to - and when he comes to Qifrey’s defense he can’t help but selfishly hope what lies in that heart is a mirror of what lives in his own.
Alaira is navigating uncharted territory, annoyed and feeling tedious about the shifting landscape of their long-standing relationships. A confluence of events personal and public sweep her into the depths of the mysteries embroiling them all. She is driven to discover how deep this chasm lies.
And all during a public holiday, to boot.

Summary
Beldaruit would place the weight of a witch’s hat and an apprentice’s frock on the boy and pray that it grounded him. This was to be the first step. A place to heal. The second - a guiding hand, to keep his feet walking the right path. The third - instructive support, to build a scaffold with enough presence of mind and strength of conviction to choose satisfactory furrows of life. To make his own decisions. For good and ill.
OR
Beldaruit knows Witch society would rather be rid of a helpless unknowing child - instead of dooming him, Beldraruit gives him a home and a name. A behind-the-scenes look at Qifrey’s induction to the secret world of magic.

Summary
Excerpts from the centuries-spanning career of one Owen Burnett. The 1988 Manhattan grind is as good a place to start as any, and 2198 is an even finer one to end it. A series of beginnings, endings, and some in betweens. Hello. Goodbye. Ad infinitum.
